I think the MOMO looks a bit naff in that dull red colour, so I'm
painting it.
does anyone know what kind of paint will stick?
TIA

FJ?SE!
Going on usual plastic ( I have a momo and I think this would work...)
Give it a light sand - then use a spray called plasti-coat
After that drys - sand again - another 2 or 3 coats and finish with a gloss
or matt varnish coat

When the g/f and I move from rented to our own place next summer - I'm gonna
have a sim-racing SHED. Whack myself a nice racing rig in there - and then
I'm gonna try and strip the momo down to fit into it without the red case at
all - and put my new LCD thingie on it

BTW, has anyone painted the pedal base? I've been thinking about
painting my MOMO ever since I bought it (actually I got the idea after
my wife asked "was that the only available color" as I unpacked it ;)

It's in a can with a big blue label with beige writing

This is just thick enough to replace the metal one
get a 5" x 5" blank - cover it in masking tape to minimize splinters - take
the metal plate of your momo and use it as a guide to draw onto the masking
tape
Use a dremel (wear a mask -it's HORRID stufff) to do the cutting - and when
doing the holes - use a small pilot hole and just use a slightly larger and
larger drill to avoid splintering.
Countersink the mounting holes quite a bit - clean the whole thing up - and
whack it in.
Enjoy countless hours of Carbon Fibre induced Momo goodness.

Use Vinyl Dye, this seems to be perfect for painting a Gameboy Advance, so
it should work just as well with the Momo. It's apparently relatively easy
to apply, the result doesn't look like it has been painted and it doesn't
stick or chip.
Check this thread at the handheld modifications forum at GBA Central:

Do a search for more tips on painting (the GBA in this case).
best wishes,

Hmm, this might actually be the hardest part... I have no idea where
to start looking.
Thanks for the tips though :)
BTW, I just got an idea for the new colour for my MOMO... the usual
"computer grey" =) That'll fit nicely with the "new" case I just got
for my computer... It's an old Fujitsu/ICL AT desktop case which used
to house a Pentium 100MHz. Still needs some modifications before I can
fit all the ATX stuff in it =)
